Bust a Move by Young MC is featured in Mash-Up, the eighth episode of Season One. It is sung by Will, with the New Directions singing backup.
When both Finn and Puck turn down the offer to sing it, and Rachel is shocked by the 'lack of male participation' during rehearsal, Will decides to sing it. This song is Will's personal favorite song.

Lyrics

Will:
Bust it
This here's a tale for all the fellas
Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down 'cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get, females get jealous
Okay smartie, go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showin' body
A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her
But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next day's function, high class luncheon
Food is served, and you're still cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Said she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move

New Directions Girls:
Uh, hey, ya, uh, uh, hey, ya

Will with New Directions Boys:
Just bust a move!

New Directions Girls:
Uh, hey, uh, ya, uh, hey, ya, uh, uh

Will (New Directions Girls):
You're on a mission and you're wishin'
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls, just ugly faces
From frustration, first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope (Uh)
Your movie's showin', so you're goin'
Could care less about the five you're blowin' (Uh)
Theater gets dark just to start the show
And then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row (Uh)
She's dressed in yellow, she says Hello
Come sit next to me, you fine fellow (Uh)
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

New Directions Girls:
If you want it, you got it, Uh
If you want it, baby, you got it

Will with New Directions Boys:
Just bust a move!

New Directions Girls:
If you want it, you got it, Uh
If you want it, baby, you got it, Uh

Will (New Directions Girls):
In the city, ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says, "no way"
Girls are fakin', goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money, and you got no car
Then you got no woman, and there you are (Uh)
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic (Yeah!)
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic (Uh)
They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan (Yeah!)
So that a brother with the money can be their man (Uh)
So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin' (Yeah!)
Everything you have is yours and not stolen (Uh)
A girl runs up with somethin' to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move

New Directions Girls:
If you want it, you got it, Uh
If you want it, baby, you got it

Will with New Directions Boys:
Just bust a move!

New Directions Girls:
If you want it, you got it, Uh
If you want it, baby, you got it, Uh

Will (New Direction Boys):
Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin' you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato," check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin'
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin'
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And then you're feelin' really fine 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin'
Look at the girl, and your heart starts thumpin'
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, G, (Bust a move)

New Directions Girls:
You want it, you got it (Uh)
If you want it, baby, you got it
